Extension Validation

Shopware-CLI has a built-in validation for extensions. This is useful in your CI/CD pipeline to validate the extension before you release it.

Validating an extension

To validate an extension, you can use the following command:

shopware-cli extension validate <path>

The path can be absolute or relative to the directory containing the extension or the zip file. The command exists with a non-zero exit code if the validation fails with an error level message.

What is validated?

• The composer.json has an shopware/core requirement and constraint is parsable
• The extension metadata is filled with:
  • name
  • label (German and English)
  • description (German and English) and longer than 150 characters and shorter than 185 characters
• Translations have equality translated in the given languages
• PHP can be correctly linted with the minimum PHP version
• The theme.json can be parsed and included assets can be found

Supported PHP versions for linting

The following PHP versions are supported for linting:

• 7.3
• 7.4
• 8.1
• 8.2

These versions don't need to be installed locally, they are downloaded on demand and executed using WebAssembly without any dependencies.
